Money

The currency for the Dominican Reuplic is Pesos (DOP) and if traveling outside of the resort you may need to convert your money, However you may use US$ dollars as well if accepted.

BEWARE, all banks and machines give Pesos, if you want US dollars you must purchase it at the going rate which is high,  and can be up to 42% so exchange US $ for pesos before traveling or bring enough US money for the trip. You also may be SHOCKED,  to find that each time that you go to the bank machine the fee is $5 for the withdrawal but it's not indicated on the receipt! Plan your money needs carefully!

Keep in mind that US $ are highly desired by the local vendors, so you may be able to negotiate a better price if you pay with US $.  Be sure to do your conversion calculations (carry a small calculator) before you decide if it really is a better price.  A tip of 1 US $ is slightly more valuable than the same amount in pesos simply because it is US currency.
